I have been a TT lurker and reader for years. I met Bantam1 by accident at the Shimano booth at the Houston Fishing Show in March and we talked about TT and I decided finally to register and start contributing.

I have also been a BUYER on TT for a long time. I have bought alot from TT sponsor sites and from top notch TT guys like DR and hoohoorjoo and steve1206 and a few others.

I want to provide a place for others to give feedback on me as I also start going over to the other side and Selling a bit on TT.

Traded some reels with Gulfcoastwader the other day. He was so good to deal with and so nice, I really almost felt guilty. Shipped the stuff (FAST) to me first to confirm I wanted it, even though I saw pics and knew the gear was tip-top. Anyway, one of my best experiences with this site or any other. Great guy.

Ditto, Brad and I have had a few deals back and forth already and he's a top-notch guy to buy/sell/ trade with. And he's a nice guy on top of that. I'm sure we will have further continued positive interactions for a long time to come.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

oops! Messed up........I bought a reel from Gulfcoastwader and a rod from another person, but they showed up at the same time and my brain mixed them up while I was typing. Doesn't look like I can edit a post in this section. Sorry for the confusion, but the buying experience I reported does not change.......EXCELLENT!

bought a handle from brad and he's an excellent guy to do business with. sent out the handle right away...it was packaged properly and showed up in fabulous condition just as he described it. communication was also top notch. he responded to my pm's promptly. highly recommend. eric
